A user shared their experience with GPT 5.6, noting a **significant improvement in retrieving information from past conversations** compared to 5.5. Using a home plumbing project as an example, the model successfully retrieved purchase details from a chat two to three months ago. It organized specifics like the washing machine model, purchase date, weight, stores visited, and pipes/filters bought into a timeline without hallucinating. The user finds this highly practical for tasks requiring historical detail recall.
